Actress Pamela Gidley, best known for her role as Teresa Banks in the 1992 Twin Peaks prequel "Fire Walk With Me," passed away in her New Hampshire home earlier this month.

Gidley's family announced her death in an obituary published on Sunday. The 52-year-old died "peacefully in her home" in Seabrook on April 16th. Her cause of death has not been released.

A former child model, Gidley made her film debut in the 1986 skateboarding film "Thrashin,'" where she starred alongside Josh Brolin and Sherilyn Fenn. Brolin posted a tribute to Gidley on his Instagram last week, writing, "My co-star in 'Thrashin' and my girlfriend twice in a lifetime. Amazing and innocent memories of her: a spitfire, and a truly funny person she was."

Gidley's other work included "Cherry 2000," "Angel Street" (both the series and the TV movie), "Highway to Hell", "Strange Luck" and "The Pretender." Her final role was once again that of Teresa Banks in 2014's "Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces."

In a 2016 interview, Gidley recalled how adamantly "Twin Peaks" director David Lynch pursued her for the role of Teresa Banks, despite the fact that she was filming another movie at the time.

"David wanted me so much for the character that he guaranteed the other film that he would pay all flights and all insurance [should anything happen to her while traveling]."
